If all works fine with the backport-kernel on your lenny system why want
you use a squeeze kernel?
And what do mean by currently running a 2.6.30-bpo.1-amd64-kernel but
that no linux-image of this kernel exists? If you run this kernel there
must be a linux-image of it.

....the problem might be because you use the lenny versions of the
software (vlc player cheese etc) together with a squeeze (sid) kernel.
If you want stick to the 2.6.32 kernel try the vlc, cheese, acpi etc
packages from the squeeze repo instead of the lenny repo.
